Translation of longing in Spanish

It means a lot to me to participate and meet other people in this Internet forum. I'll know later if I can move my appointment in order to get together with our visitors from Canada.
I've never been to Switzerland, but I've been thinking about visiting it for a long time. Until now I was only in France and Holland. I should take the time and travel and visit new places.
I would also like to stay for some time abroad, I had no time yet. With all the kids it is difficult. Next year, however, we might go to Rimini for a month. We will rent a house there in the summer.
